K.J. will be developing Blu/print, an improvised and structured dance/theater/music piece. Blu/print is a somatic search for origins—etymologies, physiologies, archeologies, geologies, musicologies—across time/space. She will be fine tuning a solo made with a distillation of texts created in residency at the Peripheral Center, Trumso Norway. The solo is an overture for an ensemble piece with three dancers and two musicians. She will also continue to deepen her research into the ensemble material.

FUTURE OF SEX is a screenplay-in-progress set in a remote utopian community where each member lives in symbiosis with a plant or animal—their symbiont. It’s difficult work with frequent losses. Climate grief, burnout, low desire and erotic dissatisfaction are widespread. So they decide to revive an idealistic sex-as-a-public-service program. They hope pleasure and connection will help people cope with grief. But the program creates emotional fractures that threaten the community’s very survival.
History
Justin Crumbaugh
Author and Chair of Spanish, Latina/o and Latin American Studies, Mount Holyoke College — United States
Justin Crumbaugh’s research explores expressions of right-wing extremism in contemporary Spain, from the Spanish Civil War and Franco dictatorship to the rising reactionary nostalgia of recent years. His books include Destination Dictatorship (2009) and Spanish Fascist Writing (2021), and his articles have addressed topics such as the spectacle of tourist development, counter-terrorism discourse, and political architecture. His current book project traces the history of political victim enshrinement in contemporary Spain.
From the ubiquitous exaltation of the caídos or "fallen" fascists of the Spanish Civil War throughout the Franco dictatorship, to the victims of the armed Basque separatist organization ETA, to those claiming to be harmed by African migrants, successive spectacles of sacralized suffering have anchored reactionary thought and culture in Spain for nearly a century, whether under dictatorship or democracy. At the Bogliasco Center, Justin will be finishing a book manuscript on this topic.
